MUSA Grandmaster O55 Appointments and Tryouts

It is with great pleasure that we announce the following appointments for the 2019 Pan Am O55 Men's Soccer Team.

Alec Mahrer and Ken Kramer have been appointed Co-Chairmen of the team that will compete in Mexico City.

Alec is currently a high school coach in NY and has been involved in soccer all his life playing in the German American League in the late 60's through the early 70's and was a member of the 1979 US Maccabi Pan Am team competing in Mexico City.

Ken Kramer has been involved with the Maters program for 4 years having participated with team in Las Vegas and most recently in the Copa De Mayo tournament this past weekend.

Congratulations to both of you and good luck in Mexico City.

The first responsibility of the chairmen is to select a coach and both Alec and Ken wasted no time in selecting former Masters coach (Israel '05) and player (Israel '09) Eric Brief who guided the team to a silver medal in his previous stint as the gaffer. Eric hails from New Jersey and will look to assemble a team that will better his previous result at the helm.

Congratulations to Eric on his appointment and we wish him great success through the entire campaign.

The Chairmen, Eric and an initial planning team have tentatively set an official tryout date for Aug 18-19 in New Jersey. If interested, please save the date and we will forward more details as they emerge. There is also a possibility of a west coast tryout that may coincide with a combined 35 and 45 tryout but those dates have not been finalized.

We look forward to seeing you all at the next event...

Gary "Gazza" Bernstein
